开始行动

集体智慧是实现业绩倍增、提高效率、增强质量和卓越度,并且创造更好的员工氛围的强大资源。考虑将集体智慧作为业务能力的企业需要自测以下问题:

 
  • 我们的战略性业务目标是什么,哪类洞察力可帮助我们在市场上开展竞争或实现差异化?
  • 想一想我们可能希望参与到集体智慧项目中的对象,我们如何激励他们与企业分享他们的洞察?
  • 我们如何以全新的、高性价比的方式获取知识,并与人员保持联系?
  • 我们需要哪些技术工具支持这一能力,谁最有能力帮助我们充分利用这些工具?

无论采取哪种方法将集体智慧融入企业的结构中,关键的前提是它使企业能够充分发挥其生态系统的知识资本对于动态地应对业务挑战的潜力。麻省理工学院集体智慧中心的Tom Malone、Robert Laubacher和Chrysanthos Dellarocas在2009年的一篇文章中指出:“早期通过Web实现集体智慧的例子并没有结束,而是刚刚开始。随着计算和通信能力持续改进,在未来几十年内,这样的例子将会有很多。”16

随着企业认识到并且更加愿意利用其员工、客户和业务伙伴的智慧,集体智慧将成为日益重要的机制,使这些人共同识别新的宝贵机遇,解决具有挑战性的问题,并且快速地实现令人振奋的创新。
